Our tour guide’s name was Jobie, he was very informative and enthusiastic. We had a great experience and he even gave us recommendations of things to do and eat in the area. I would book again, he exceeded expectations!

Great walk on the witch trials
Jobian provided a fantastic over ore of historical Salem, what led to the witch hunts and trials, and how it impacted all of the settlers in the Massachusetts colony. We learned more from our time with him than we could have picked up on our own all day. He also provided fun facts on the movies/bewitched. Highly recommend.

We had such a nice day in...
We had such a nice day in Salem with Jobi! My husband and I wanted to learn the history of Salem. We had Jobi as our tour guide. We were a party of only two. Jobi walked us around the town and we explored the history. Jobi is knowledgeable and an expert in the history of Salem! We enjoyed his conversation and company on this delightful day in Salem.

A great tour!
Jobian was an amazing guide. Blending his personal knowledge from growing up in Salem, with the story of the witch trials and executions. We appreciated his friendliness with our kids, often ensuring they are involved in the conversation.

Packed with engaging history
The tour was history-based and engaging and the guide (I’m sorry I am not recalling his name!) was a wealth of knowledge. He clearly cares about the story and context both in the past and how it impacts Salem today. We were very impressed and highly recommend it.
